The Nancy and Stephen Grand Technion Energy Program (GTEP) is a multi-disciplinary energy research program. The research includes collaborations between the best researchers and scientists in various disciplines within and outside of the Technion and focuses on basic science and engineering problems that must be solved for the advancement of the energy field in Israel and around the world.
The program focuses on sustainable energy research, especially in the following areas: fuel cells, rechargeable batteries: the next generation beyond lithium ion, PV, energy systems and life cycle assessment of energy technologies, the water-energy relationship, catalysis, and heat conversion. Since its establishment in 2007, the program has been working to create infrastructure and to promote research in this field. The energy program’s support for research led to important scientific discoveries, the creation of collaborations with leading research institutions and industry bodies in Israel and around the world, and the recruitment of leading new faculty members in the field.
